Moscow waits as kneidlach get cold
LONDON — Despite the openness of glasnqst Moscow, apparently, does not believe in kneidlach.
M oscow has rejected a bid by a London company to open a kosher restaurant without even tasting the cuisine, the London Jewish Chronicle reported.
However, according to the British Embassy in Moscow, a top Soviet official has said the idea might be reconsidered "if diplomatic relations between the USSR and Israel were re-established."
Michael Zwebner, director of the Rothschild's group of restaurants, first wrote the Soviet   Ambassador   last * December.
Welcoming the new openness under Mikhail Gorbachev, he said there would be increasing Jewish tourism in the.Soviet Union.
- "We should thereforTTike-tb make a formal application to open a Rothschild kosher restaurant in -Moscow to service the needs of those visitors, the members of the Jewish community who would wish to have a facility to eat kosher food away from their homes and, indeed, all Muscovites and foreigners alike who might wish to sample the
ethnic delights of kosher food."
Zwebner stressed that local labor and produce would be used and that all profits would be donated to a Soviet children's charity or other appropriate institutions. *-
The letter and a second one went unanswered.
Acting on advice of the British Embassy in Moscow, Zwebner then wrote to A.G. : Petrachenkov, head of foreign relations in Mossoviet, the organization in charge of restaurants. It was Petrachenkov who said the project would have to wait for re-establishment of relations with Israel.
But Zwebner has not been deterred. He has since written to President Reagan asking him to raise the matter during his talks with Gorbachev in Moscow.
